Singer Ronald Mayinja has released a new politically-motivated song titled “Abantu Baganye” asking President Museveni to leave power and go home, just a year after canvassing electoral votes for the 77-year old leader.
Mayinja is remembered to have dumped Bobi Wine’s National Unity Platform (NUP) in 2021 to join the NRM camp for whom he even released a song titled “Akalulu Kako Mzee” later adopted as Museveni’s theme song for the elections.
However, a year later, the flip-flopping musician has now composed another song titled “Abantu B’aganye” literally meaning “people have refused” asking Museveni to leave power, and go home to rest.
In the song (available for download below) Mayinja claims that after taking a countrywide tour to preach the Museveni gospel, he has been met with resistance and hatred, with several citizens begging him to tell Museveni to leave power, adding that supporting Museveni has made Ugandans hate him more.
“I used to be a good supporter, and have been traveling around to preach your message but the people have refused, to be certain they have refused they also hated me for it. I ask you mzee to find ways to leaving power because they have said they want another leader,” Mayinja said in one of the songlines.

He added that people are tired of hospitals without drugs and roads that are for just a few people. He adds that Ugandans are suffering in abject poverty and some have had to run abroad for survival in harsh environments in mid-east.
